AN ECCENTRIC MERCHANT.

The Boston Post says it is curious to
recall the changes which have taken
place in Boston in regard to wearing OF
whiskers and mustaches and the social
and moral standard attached to the use
or disuse Of the razor. In my boyhood
a mustache was . badge OF indifference
to responsibility, and q young business
man who ventured to wear one found
his credit the worse for the experience.
1 recall q story told me of the head OF
q large dry goods house, whose SON, on
his return from Europe, was received
very coldly by the governor" This
became SO noticeable that one Of the
Junior partners took the young man
aside and told him that the cause OF
his fathers displeasure was his mustache.
This turned out to be true. When the
"mustache movement" had acquired
some Roadway. an eccentric merchant OF
the old school, who had observed that
some of his clerks had yielded to its
attractions, gave notice that while he
opposed the tendency he was willing to
make a compromise with such OF his
employees are were in favor of it. Call
ing his clerks together, he made a short
address on the dangers of triaing with
the proprieties which custom had estab-
lished, and ended by saying: 81 do
not propose to wholly restrict the gen.
tlemen in my employ from wearing
~mustaches, but l cannot allow them to
be worn in business hours"

THEY GOT IT.

The Sacramento Star says it is ex.
pected that the fourth section of the
Interstate Commerce Act-the long and
short haul clause-will be suspended.
While the section has not been given a
sufficient trial to test its workings,
there is no doubt that the law in its
entirety is crude and mischievous, but
there is an anomaly connected with it
which is little less than ~laughable. For
years after the completion of the trans
continental railroad the merchants of
San Francisco howled about what they
called unjust discrimination and the in
justice of charging more freight for a
shorter than a longer distance, and
clamored for legislation to amend that
state Of affairs. We have seen a child
cry for an hour for something which
was refused it, and then set up q howl
that would wake the dead when at last
granted its desire. That's just the way
with the San Francisco merchants. They
cried for a law against discrimination,
and when they got it screamed their
eyes out to have il taken back. Such
inconsistency is characteristic Of the
mercantile community in San Francisco.

SOMEWHAT so.

Here is a little sermon from the
dominic Of the Dixon, CAL, Tribune
cit is not always an easy matter to
draw the line between chance and
gambling. There is an element of chance
in every business transaction. When
the farmer sow Q crop, the ~speculator
buys a town lot or the trader a horse,
each assumes q chance, but it would
h ardly be right to class such transactions
as gambling. But when the old man
with one foot in the grave. with an ex.
perience Of 10 or so years behind him,
with more worldly possessions than he
requires, with a disposition to give rel.
igious exhortation, attempts to fleece an
unsophisticated looking stranger out OF
$500, because he appears to be a sucker,
he betrays symptoms of disposition to
wander from the realms of chance to
those Of gambling. 1t is remarkable
how many men there are who are bit.
terly opposed to gambling unless it is on
a 'cock-sure thing"

The Effect "AngeI's Dew" Had ON

The Sacramento Star tells the following
story: A mistake by q careless clerk came
near breaking up a family out in the d.
rection Of Franklin. An honest granger
came in to purchase supplies and left bis
order at 3 store, while he went TO attend
10 some other business. Now, this granger
Ia a man OF strict temperance principles
and active in church matters, and would
as lief think of gambling in mining stocks
or committing any other enormity as to
impregnate his system with old Bourbon.
Included in the order was o gallon OF
syrup, and the clerk promised to put up
new brand OF glucose called ANGELS
Dew" and 70 put it in a d~emijohn. There
was an order in the store for q gallon OF
whisky. and the clerk got the two mixed
and the whisky was put in the fsrmer's
wagon. On the way home the farmer
thought he would just taste ANGELS

they wanted anything that was put up in

herself.

Speaking Of Governor Hill of New
York, the Herald says: He is an able
man, a promising man and a young man.
He has a bright future before him. But
he sees that there must be no split in the
Democratic party, and that it will not
do to run any risks in 1888. He bides
his time. which is not yet. That time
will come. but there is no hurry. A
Republican success would certainly mean
foreign complications, possibly a war.
A Democratic success will mean peace.
That is important, and Governor Hill
will not allow any personal ambitions to
interfere with the stability of our insti-
~tutions or the welfare of our people. He
will, therefore, put the Democratic party
first, and himself second.
